Auction the cube at Desert Bus! I'll pay £1000 for it, well not really, I already know what it is, it's a hologram projector cartridge from the LRR episode Redundancy, and we haven't even invented the technology yet.

B'aw, how many people (including me) did you just ninja with that post? But yeah.

"Is it an iPhone? Or at least like an Android?" "No!" "Then no one cares"

"We wanted to release something... make some buzz... get some capital... embezzle it"At least that Touch Me guy was honest.

heh, complete with weirdo looking at the shiny products. Is it possible to go into a CEX shop and not find a weirdo looking at stuff? Other than at closing time I mean. I don't know if its the name or what but at the Stoke-on-Trent branch there is always at least one strange looking/act/smelling person there.

Heh. The names were good. Especially as you changed them every time you introduced the presenters...

But, yeah. I could see the CEX joke coming from the title alone.It is a good question though... You'd think someone would have noticed that.

The television was a good one, though it reminded me of Sharp's television range that adds yellow to the standard RGB.

To be fair, Sharps idea has a reason, in that RGB alone can't reproduce the entire colour range humans can see...

But there's still some grounds for the joke in that televisions (and computer monitors) are meant to display a specific colour range...(for NTSC it's usually considered 50% gamut, or about 50% of what the human eye can actually see)

And most modern monitors and can already display 80% gamut.That's all well and good, but all the tv signals, dvd's, blurays, etc. are all encoded on the idea that the display can't show those colours...So if you have a display that can show a wider range of colours than that, you usually end up with one of two things happening:1. The display is calibrated to the correct colour range for the signal it's displaying - In which case, all the extra colour capability goes to waste and is never seen.2. The display is calibrated to show it's maximum colour range - Which shows a lot of extra colour, but means what's being shown is often far removed from what it was intended to look like.

... Wow. I'm hopeless aren't I? Explaining all that in the context of a joke? Like, who reading that would actually care? XD
